The San Francisco 49ers are currently focused on their upcoming playoff match against the Seattle Seahawks. This significant game takes place at Lumen Field. Meanwhile, around 25% of the NFL is searching for new head coaches.
49ers’ Klay Kubiak Attracts Steelers’ Interest
The 49ers have received multiple interview requests for their defensive coordinator, Robert Saleh. Recently, they received their first request for offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak. This information was reported by Diana Russini from The Athletic.
Klay Kubiak’s Career Journey

- Defensive Quality Control Coach (2021)
- Assistant Quarterbacks Coach (2022)
- Offensive Passing Game Specialist (2023)

Pittsburgh Steelers Seeking New Leadership
Mike Tomlin, head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, recently stepped down after the team did not advance in the playoffs for another season. This opens the door for Kubiak, who is eager to step into a head coaching role.
Opportunities and Challenges
While the Steelers’ head coach position presents uncertainties, Kubiak may seize the moment. As he looks to become a head coach for the very first time, his ambition may outweigh concerns about an “ideal” opportunity.
As the situation develops, the attention turns to Kubiak and the impact of his potential new role within the league.
